Greetings to All:
There were two people who made some interesting statement I would like to comment on what they provided based on the Bible.
There is nothing in what Ellen White wrote that says anything about rebuilding the old temple.
I disagree with this statement. The destruction of Jerusalem while Yashua was on the earth was a twofold prophecy. She was not given everything because her mission was to send people back to read study prayerfully the Bible! The destruction of Jerusalem included the Temple and the city. And who is Babylon? Read Dan 11:45; Rev 11:2, 8; 18 Chapter. She did not have to be shown the event but the destruction of Jerusalem will be complete for third and final time. The whole life of Israel is about her Temple and it will be rebuilt. It is not located on the pinnacle where the Dome of the Rock is located, but down below on the Southeast which the Muslim's quarter is situated.
The is nothing but an evangelical deception of a more recent origin and plays into the hand of Satan to enthrone him after he comes personating Christ. Before that, Satan will set up his throne upon "the sides of the north" near the location of the old temple. in the attempt to deceive the whole world.
First I would like to ask where you came up with this comment because it is not in the Bible. Are you saying that Satan is the beast? If you are than I'm sorry that is not correct at all.
The "temple of God" according to Paul, who wrote 2Thes 2, is very clearly us who believe in Christ, as pre-defined 4 times in a row in his other writings infact, Paul says that God does not dwell in buildings of brick.
When Paul was talking about the body being the Temple it was base on each of individually allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in our minds.
Look up "temple of God" in the NT and see what you guys come up with yourselves.
In Thessalonians Paul was not speaking of the mind because Satan cannot dwell in our minds only Elohim. Satan read's your impression because he cannot read the mind. The Bible says on YAHWEH looks on the inside and not you inner thoughts, not Satan.
So, the false Christ (Satan in disguise) comes and pretends to be Jesus Christ. Paul taught that he shall actually sit in us as God...since we are the temple of God. iow, if a Christian believes that Satan is the returned Christ, then Satan will have effectively "sat" in that temple of God (us).he is coming to seduce the potential bride of Christ...he's already got the rest.
I am truly sorry but this makes no sense at all. You must understand Satan has a seat, power and authority. The KJ scribes interpreted instead of translating Rev 12:9 (read EW 221, 222). Here is where she uplifts the Bible because we want to have private interpretation and there is none. Many will not take the time to first read what I'm about to say, pray about it, read again along with the Scriptures I will give you.
First, EGW present the evidence that Satan was not kick down to this earth the earth was not created. I don't know if she stopped and went to creation before finishing about Satan or was that changed by the church? I just don't know because it makes no sense how it was done. However, if you study with eyesalve given to you by the Holy Spirit you will see it.
Why do we think we are the center of everything? We are not Gen 2:1, 2 shows that we are the last to be created! Now EGW also provide information (but keep in mind it in the Bible already, you have to study), about Lucifer and he was kicked out of Heaven with angels. If we would place the story about Lucifer want to ask to be reinstated back to his original with Michael/Yashua, we would learn something very interesting.
What most of us really do not understand is that numerous worlds were already created when the final problem had been decided. Satan had been respected by these beings and YAHWEH'S name had been marred along with His principle of justice and equality. Jude 1:6 provides this as well as Rev 20:1-3 and the word bottomless pit is outer space. Satan has been the only one who has been allowed to move about the universe. The other angels are allowed limited time here but not all. They all will be release soon with the beast/man and we all cannot even imagine what they will do at that time to the wicked as the Bible describe in Rev Chapter nine that's why there are three woes given in Rev 8:13 that deals with their arrival here on earth.
It does not make sense that Satan gives powers to himself. We truly need to understand Satan never own this earth at all. He was only the "prince of the air." Man has been in outer space before when the "sons of Elohim presented themselves," Satan disguised himself, but the Son Elohim stops him at the gate twice. Adam is a son of the Most High and he came at one time like the rest of the unfallen world to Heaven. Men want to get back there again and if you think that was a simple old Ziggurat that made the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to come down it just don't make sense. The Trio did not come down during the flood or destroying Sodom and Gomorrah. Please people look outside the box, the History channel has a series about Aliens visiting man because of the numerous buildings and other intellectual things they are finding. They think man was primitive, he was not and it was him trying to find somewhere else to go after the flood. Man lost his intellect for eating raw meat of all kind especially the blood and other filth. "You are what you eat!" Now the image to the beast is Satan so he will play a role in deceiving the whole world. Notice that image comes alive and speaks as the serpent was supposed to speak in the Garden of Eden.
Finally have any of you watch History 2 channel about the aliens, I urge all to watch. These people are founding things that YAHWEH is revealing truth about man's attempt to venture into space. Even EGW made a mistake about angels knocking off the top of a tower. This is not in the Bible she heard as we all have been past down. The signs are there because nothing new is under the Sun. You all know these texts go over them carefully. Clues, bottomless pit, angels lost their first estate (Jude 1:6), key to the bottomless pit, Satan's seat and authority. Read where she talks about only Satan was present and afraid during the flood. Where are his angels? Read where Satan is the only one taken and now placed in the bottomless pit or a pit (darkness) no bottom (where the earth and all the other galaxies are hanging out at). Only one legion of angels of Satan is mentioned. 2/3 was kicked out and time travel is mention that day to Elohim is a thousand years to us!!!!! I want to see if you can find these passages if not let me know.
Happy Sabbath,
